This course is broadly interdisciplinary and was built on a conceptual and theoretical relationship between Art, Social Sciences, Health, and Neurosciences.
Macro concepts such as Creativity, Transformative Learning and Teaching through the Arts, Art and Mental Health, and Prevention of Risk Behavior, are related to more specific concepts such as emotional expression and emotional self-management, art as a tool for preventing risk behaviors, art as inter and intrapersonal communication tool, and neuroplasticity mechanisms linked to aesthetic enjoyment, among others.
The course is based on up-to-date scientific evidence and the presentation of international case studies and award-winning projects in a higher education context.
Through active teaching methodologies that encourage students to learn critically, participatively, and autonomously, the entire course enhances transversal insights and skills. It promotes an integrative and complementary vision of the different areas of knowledge.

Proposed Learning Outcomes
-Know the relationship that science shows between creative abilities and the promotion of well-being and improved health conditions;
-Understand the impact of art as a tool for personal and social transformation, with a view to better-integrating individuals from vulnerable sociocultural contexts;
-Understand the relationship between artistic experience and the promotion of self-esteem and empowerment of populations in environments considered to be favourable to risk behaviours (example, vulnerable young people, incarcerated inmates, etc.);
-Know how the brain transforms and adapts (neuroplasticity) in the face of artistic stimuli and how it can provide more creative and adjusted responses, whether in a rehabilitation context or educational or professional contexts;
-To learn about educational programs implemented in higher education in the health sector which, supported by active learning methodologies and the creative combination of multimedia resources, transmit useful knowledge about preventing sexual risk behaviours.
